I didn't burn anything. I erased Macintosh HD and the quit disk utility.

I then clicked on reinstall Mac OSX

It told me I have to download lion.

The mountain lion disk is in the computer

How did you obtain the Mountain Lion disk (since that does not come on a disk)?


Did you purchase Mountain Lion at the app store?


FWIW, you were using recovery and, if you erase the HD, you need to download the OS again.
